The Jawtno program was officially launched in Bhurungamari upazila in February 2017 by the Honorable Minister for the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development & Cooperatives and attended by senior Bank management. Over 4,000 beneficiaries have now been enrolled across four pilot unions and are availing services under the program since October. The experience gained from implementation in the four pilot unions will provide valuable lessons for the full-scale program rollout. Notwithstanding this positive progress, the Project has been impacted by delays in National Household Database (NHD) household and poverty data availability from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). The Project, in collaboration with the Bank team, will explore alternative poverty target mechanisms to identify potential beneficiaries to the program until such time as the NHD is available for use.
